Squash Book Part 2 Using D is for Dog

Hello everyone!

I am posting a little later this morning here, we had some bad weather go through so I didn't want to be online. Today I am sharing Panel 1 with you all, this is the inside of the Squash Book decorated. I used the following supplies to create this~

I'll be working my way around the panel clockwise, we'll start at the upper left hand corner.

First Block~

In the first square I cut a piece of Baja Breeze card stock 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" I sponged the edges with Baja Breeze ink. I cut a piece of Sahara Sand card stock 3" x 3", using the Sanded Background stamp I inked it in Sahara Sand stamped onto the card stock. I took the bone and paw form D is for Dog stamped it in More Mustard and Baja Breeze, then sponged the edges with Sahara Sand. Next came my photo, I tied Natural Hemp Twine down the side of it to look like his chew rope he has. On the right hand side of the photo I stamped D is for Dog in More Mustard on Sahara Sand card stock. I cut it out and placed Stampin' Dimensional on the back.

2nd Block~

I cut a piece of Sahara Sand card stock 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" and then cut it diagonally in half. (One is for the second block and one is for the fourth block) I stamped the bone in Sahara Sand ink and stamped off on scratch paper before stamping onto the card stock. I wanted it to be faint for my journaling. I them did my journaling with the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker. I stamped the bone in More Mustard on Sahara Sand card stock, cut it out and mounted it on a Stampin' Dimensional. I then cut a piece of More Mustard card stock 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" and then cut it diagonally in half, again one half is for the fourth block. I stamped the saying in Early Espresso Ink on the bottom of it, stamped the paws in More Mustard ink and sponged the edges with More Mustard ink.3rd Block~

The 3rd block is also really part of the next panel because of how they fit together. I cut a piece of Baja Breeze card stock 3 1/4" x 3 1/4", sponged the edges with Baja Breeze ink. I added my photo on the right of it I added a strip of More Mustard 1/2" x 3" I ran it through the Big Shot along with the Texturze Plate Background 1. I then cut a piece of Sahara Sand 3" long and punched out with the Scallop Edge Border Punch I then cut it to only use the scallops. I then took my marker and added little dots to each scallop. To finish it off I added another bone stamped in More Mustard onto Sahara Sand card stock, cut out and placed on a Stampin' Dimensional. On the bottom I added a bow made from Natural Hemp Twine and in the center is a paw stamped in Early Espresso ink onto Sahara Sand card stock I then punched it out with the 3/4" Circle Medium Punch.4th Block~

Remember those half pieces I cut for the 2nd block this is where you use the other half of them up. The Sahara Sand piece I stamped the dog in Early Espresso ink and then sponged the edges with Sahara Sand ink. The More Mustard piece I stamped the paws in More Mustard and then sponged the edges with More Mustard.
